Paternal effects on fetal programming. [PDF]
Anim Reprod, 2023 Paternal programming is the concept that the environmental signals from the sire’s experiences leading up to mating can alter semen and ultimately affect the phenotype of resulting offspring.

Mapping the past, present and future research landscape of paternal effects [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2020 Background Although in all sexually reproducing organisms an individual has a mother and a father, non-genetic inheritance has been predominantly studied in mothers. Paternal effects have been far less frequently studied, until recently.

Nongenetic paternal effects via seminal fluid [PDF]
Evolution Letters, 2019 Mounting evidence suggests that nongenetic paternal effects on offspring may be widespread among animal taxa, but the mechanisms underlying this form of nongenetic inheritance are not yet fully understood.

The interplay between sperm-mediated and care-mediated paternal effects in threespine sticklebacks. [PDF]
Anim Behav, 2021 The environment experienced by one generation can influence the phenotypes of future generations. Because parental cues can be conveyed to offspring at multiple points in time, ranging from fertilization to posthatching/parturition, offspring can ...

The thermal environment of sperm affects offspring success: a test of the anticipatory paternal effects hypothesis in the blue mussel. [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2021 There has been an explosion of recent evidence that environments experienced by fathers or their ejaculates can influence offspring phenotypes (paternal effects).

The specificity of sperm-mediated paternal effects in threespine sticklebacks. [PDF]
Behav Ecol Sociobiol, 2021 Parental effects may help offspring respond to challenging environments, but whether parental exposure to different environmental challenges induces similar responses in offspring is largely unknown.

Sex-specific plasticity across generations I: Maternal and paternal effects on sons and daughters. [PDF]
J Anim Ecol, 2020 Intergenerational plasticity or parental effects – when parental environments alter the phenotype of future generations – can influence how organisms cope with environmental change. An intriguing, underexplored possibility is that sex –of both the parent

Can paternal effects via seminal fluid contribute to the evolution of polyandry? [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2020 Genetic benefits from mating with multiple males are thought to favour the evolution of polyandry. However, recent evidence suggests that non-genetic paternal effects via seminal fluid might contribute to the observed effects of polyandry on offspring ...

Maternal and paternal effects on offspring internalizing problems: Results from genetic and family-based analyses. [PDF]
Am J Med Genet B Neuropsychiatr Genet, 2020 It is unclear to what extent parental influences on the development of internalizing problems in offspring are explained by indirect genetic effects, reflected in the environment provided by the parent, in addition to the genes transmitted from parent to

Maternal modulation of paternal effects on offspring development. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2018 The paternal transmission of environmentally induced phenotypes across generations has been reported to occur following a number of qualitatively different exposures and appear to be driven, at least in part, by epigenetic factors that are inherited via ...
